"Forget Inspiration. Habit Is More Dependable. Habit Will Sustain You Whether Youre Inspired Or Not.

"Forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you’re inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won’t. Habit in persistence in practice."

Octavia Butler (via inspired-to-write)

I saw a related quote a little while ago that under stress you revert to what you do naturally; so if you practice (or make a habit of) what you need to do when stressed then that’s what you’ll do then naturally and it’ll be fine. 

And both are good points. Cultivate the behaviors you want and need as habits. becoming who you want to be is an ongoing project.

Hes An Immensely Physical Actor, Almost A Clown: Sometimes A Funny Clown; Other Times A Very Scary Clown

He’s an immensely physical actor, almost a clown: sometimes a funny clown; other times a very scary clown indeed. The most memorable Walter White moments could almost take place in a silent film: Walt sitting by his stagnant pool, flicking lit matched onto its surface; Walt watching as Gus Fring slits a henchman’s throat with a box cutter; Walt fixing himself lunch. The man makes a sandwich like Chaplin roller-skated.

"He’s telepathic," Gilligan says. "I can’t tell you how much dialogue we’ve cut out of this show over the years in the editing room, stuff that we wrote and really liked, that when we got to the editing room and we said to ourselves, ‘you know, we don’t need this line. It’s not necessary, because I see exactly what he’s thinking.’" (x)
